Building date: Late 12th/Early 13th century – 1186
Religion: Buddhism
Style: Bayon
King: Jayavarman VII From 1181 To 1218
Location: On the large circuit, just beside Banteay Kdei. East of Angkor Thom.
Of identical design in the later Jayavarman VII temples of Preah Khan and Banteay Kdei, this calm, expansive monastic complex is just partly cleared of the overgrowing jungle. Deliberately left partially unrestored, massive fig and silk-cotton trees grow on the towers and passages giving the best 'tree-in-temple' photograph chances at Angkor. Flocks of noisy parrots flit from tree to tree contributing to the jungle ambiance. Ta Prohm is really worth a prolonged exploration of its dark corridors and open plazas. This temple is among Jayavarman VII's initial temple projects.
Ta Prohm was devoted to his mother. (Preah Khan, built shortly after Ta Prohm in the same basic design, was devoted to King Jayavarman VII's father.) Ta Prohm was initially built as a Buddhist monastery and was significantly wealthy in its time, ruling over 3000 villages, thousands of support staff, and great stores of jewels and gold. Of the monastic complex design temples, Ta Prohm is really a excellent example and may be incorporated into any kind of temple itinerary.
Inscriptions reveal that 80,000 people worked in the service of this monastery which was constructed using 5 tons of gold plate. Ta Phrom's design system is the last generation of Angkorian temples, built on only a single level, encompassed by many art galleries. You'll be instantly astounded by the number, the size, as well as the high quality of the still undamaged art galleries. Others are just fallen heaps of rocks.
The French School of the Far East, which has undertaken numerous tasks of restoration of Angkor, would've voluntarily left this temple in that state of rot, where nature continues its attempts destroying so as to give to the tourist this very particular impression to find a wild place. The EFEO is really justified by declaring as you can find on the spot of Angkor some other samples of this specific architecture, like Banteay Srey or even the very close Banteay Kdei, but additionally releases itself from a significant task, it's enough for convinced to see the amount of stones scattered on a lawn.
In addition, the roots which encompass the walls and invade many galleries are the true treat to your eyes as well as the photographers. The Buddhist temple ruins is just like one city which is inside the tremendous site that runs east - west 1000 metres and north - south 600 metres.
